SIR JOHN COLBATCH (1670-1728) A collection of tracts, chirurgical and medical ... Printed for Dan. Brown… 1700 [4], 568, [16] p. 19 cm.

A London apothecary, Colbatch rejected the common held belief that medicines were “alkalies” that combated “acidic” disease, but rather believed the opposite that medicines were acidic and disease alkali. This incited a series of pamphlets written by Colbatch defending his belief. This is a collection of some of those pamphlets.
